Badlion » THE FUTURE MCGAMER?

[Rhino1928]

Well up until now I had no idea Badlion had released a Survival Games gamemode, so I went and checked it out and played a few rounds just to get the feel of it and compare it to MCGamer's MCSG. Below I have listed some pros about each server and then after that some cons...

Badlion:

• Little to no lag
• Better balance of chests
• Shorter time for game to start when teleported into the map (Both Good and Bad)
• Hackers? None that I saw in my 10+ rounds
• No useless gametypes in the network which provides more support for the development of Survival Games

MCGamer:

• Larger selection of maps
• Larger network
• Owns copyright to ''MCSG'' (I think...)
• Larger staff team to deal with problems or questions people may have
• Xime

Now for the cons...

Badlion:

• New gametype to Badlion, and due to its smaller community, has probably not been stress tested
• Bad selection of maps
• Shorter time for game to start when teleported into the map (Both Good and Bad)
• Smaller staff team

MCGamer:

• HUGE lag issue, usually when I type ''/join sg'' it takes 30 seconds minimum for the command to register
• Many useless gametypes which hinders the development of the MCSGv2 plugin
• Larger hacking issue
• Old and stale maps which either need to be on a rotation or taken down for a long period of time in order to make room for other maps that may get neglected when posted in the map submission thread

Overall, each respected network has its pros and it cons and I enjoy playing both and trying out new things.

MCGamer can't really be replaced simply because of its big fan-base. However, I do think Badlion will complement along networks such as this, The Hive or Mineplex:

The Hive
Official Survival Games
Trouble in Mineville
The Herobrine
Hide and Seek
Splegg
One In The Chamber
Cowboys and Indians
Cranked

Mineplex
Team Deathmatch
Dominate 2.0
Block Hunt
Draw My Thing
Survival Games
And many others.

BadLion
Factions
UHC
SG Ladders
Soup Ladders
Potion Ladders
and others.

My point: Each of these servers have all unique game modes, and that is what people like. Just as MCGamer has their own original game modes, these ones do too. And this is why MCGamer can't be replaced, neither any of these networks. Perhaps, yeah, no one really plays most of the other game modes MCGamer has to offer, but the community is so massive that players leaving isn't really going to happen.

They're not easily compared really- Badlion is a PvP network whereas MCGamer isn't so much of a PvP network as it is a minigames network.

Whether not alike, lets not forget that mostly everyone in this community plays for the competitive games, such as MCSG.

Each major network may have its own game types but it also heavily relies on peoples interest in the game types them self, which is why in my opinion MCGamer could become a much stronger network if it dropped 5-6 of its ''Arcade'' game modes and focused more on Survival Games. After stabilizing Survival Games more and adding maybe a few community made features they could branch out into other game modes.

In addition to this you also have to look at each network as an individual, Mineplex has been and will always be a mini-games server, and TheHive a competitive PVP server along with Badlion and MCGamer. The issue is MCGamer's most popular game modes are PVP related such as SG and Battlegrounds and yet they have a game called color zone. Eh just my two cents on the subject...

I still don't understand what Xime means and what it does?

I believe Xime is an Anti-Cheat system that works alongside NCP developed by our Devs here at MCGamer, this is how catching Regen Hackers possible.

***I could be entirely wrong, this is just what I have heard from some Moderators.

I personally can not wait for Badlion EU servers to be released. Combined with MCSG leaderboard reset, and the fact I really like how Badlion's ELO leaderboards are going to work to show the true #1 gets me really interested in switching when the reset happens.

apples to oranges

Oranges>Apples
In my opinion Badlion is great but MCGamer will always be the original and have that different flare. Each server has it's own flare, you can't compare them.

newb!!

Xime is the back-bone of MCGamer. It is the plugin that connects everything, and it is also the plugin that connects the ban panel, and many, many, many other staff things to MCGamer.

I don't believe that is a fair argument to use, MCGamer was able to support multiple regions duo it's succes, maybe badlion isn't in a fancial state yet where it's able to support another region, but it might be in the future.

I didn't really consider money and success. If badlion were a bit more successful maybe they could become the next Mcsg

Alright.
First of all this is kind-of free advertising to Badlion. We should stick to topics that are MCGamer related but I see where you are coming from.
Let me explain this.
Badlion always wanted SG. They wanted a bigger gamemode it is all business. Do you think that people buy donor on badlion? why would they? Only a couple of people have bought donor. It is so easy to get in. All you have too do is vote and you can get 40+ matches that are ranked. You possibly won't play over 40 would you? it is a rare case. So why would you buy it. BUT.. If it's SG people will buy donor rank. There are only a limited amount of servers. Plus a lot more perks come with it. All Badlion was trying to do when they started was to get a fanbase. They did and they didn't end up like those small SG's servers. Look till now Badlion was possibly losing money. But now they can make huge SG and people will donate.

Badlion SG is a EXACT COPY of MCGamer. The side board, The maps, and a lot of stuff. I am pretty sure its like MCSG. But it has a smaller base so it has less hackers. Less abusers and less people so they have a chance at winning. People would of course move into that server. Now rather than MCG being the main server and badlion being a practice one. Badlion is going to be the main one. All they did was start from DevonDoesGames and then they got a lot of youtubers. When there is a large quantity of players there are going to be a large quantity of hackers, abusers. That's why MCG Has so much staff. I would like to see Badlion manage over 500,000 Active players.

So remember no matter how bad you think MCSG is you should look at the amount of players we have. Its like in real life we have over 7 billion people and there are a lot of idiots and bullies.
